Top SchoolNarek Galstyan is a software engineer with 10 years of experience building production-grade systems focused on distributed systems, databases, robotics, and operating systems. He founded Lantern to embed vector search and RAG workflows directly inside PostgreSQL, launching a multi-tenant hosted service and zero-downtime deployment tooling that validated market demand. Narek has deep hands-on database experience from Timescale—contributing core features like show_chunks and stability fixes for hypertables—and as a database engineer/DBA he’s optimized time-series workloads and enabled edge deployments. His background spans startups and enterprise R&D (including Linux endpoint security at Tanium) and advanced systems training from Princeton and UC Berkeley. Notably, he combines low-level C/Postgres internals expertise with product instincts that turn research-grade ideas into deployable, revenue-generating services.
